Summary

Jim Norton and Matt Serra recap the action from Saturday’s early-morning UFC Macau card on an episode of UFC Unfiltered that features an interview with lightweight Nikolas Motta. Jim and Matt waste no time by diving straight into Petr Yan’s main event win over Deiveson Figueiredo and how it potentially impacts the matchmaking in a stacked men’s bantamweight division. Impressed with Carlos Ulberg’s victory over Volkan Oezdemir, Matt endorses Ulberg’s desire to take on Khalil Rountree Jr. now that the City Kickboxing up-and-comer has rebounded from losing his UFC debut with seven straight wins. Excited to join the show for the first time, Motta explains how getting away from the distractions of Las Vegas for a full fight camp in Thailand proved beneficial both logistically and holistically for the 31-year-old Brazilian in his most recent win against a dynamic striker in Maheshate.
